Monks and nuns are cloistered religious, and, as such, do not normally leave their monastery. The biggest thing that monks and nuns have provided in the way of "social services" would be education, they were really the first public education provided to the laity. They, also, in their Scriptoriums kept literature alive by their saving copies of many works of antiquity which otherwise would have been completely lost to us.
